Yeah if your argument is Americans have an unhealthy connection with sports for sure I agree.

    It's not unique to Americans. Many countries have an unhealthy relationship with FIFA, although gridiron football is only slightly short of gladiatorial blood sports. (It doesn't kill participants, only reduces them to a shell of their former selves.) German football hooliganism is notorious.

    I can't speak for rugby or hockey, which also look dangerous but don't have leagues as powerful as NFL.

    Also the US has boxing and mixed-martial-arts cage matches. I don't know if those have near-equivalents outside America.
